"This has nothing to do with feminism"
Are you GASLIGHTING AND BLAMING THIS VICTIM of CHILD NEGLECT?
To quote Rebecca Walker again:
I was 16 when I found a now-famous poem she wrote
comparing me to various calamities that struck and impeded the lives of other women writers. Virginia Woolf was mentally ill and the Brontes died prematurely. My mother had me - a 'delightful distraction', but a calamity nevertheless. I found that a huge shock and very upsetting.
According to the strident
feminist ideology of the Seventies, women were sisters first, and my mother chose to see me as a sister rather than a daughter. From
the age of 13, I spent days at a time alone while my mother retreated to her writing studio - some 100 miles away. I was left with money to buy my own meals and lived on a diet of fast food.
If it has nothing to do with feminism, why does she keep mentioning the ideology? Sounds like the ideology has something to do with the author of the article's feelings and experiences.
